Geez, live and learn.
I shrugged off the Internet when a friend showed it to me a million years
ago. Big deal, I said---big deal, indeed.
I laughed at Tivo until a friend showed me what it could do. Then I got it
and loved it.
Similarly, I've ignored posts about Office Kits, MOU, EN, etc etc. Until
today.
A salesman came to my job and had to run prices and give me price quotes on
his company letterhead. He just walked in with his laptop, plugged a USB
cable into his cell phone, connected to his company website, created the
quote sheets, and faxed them to our office fax machine (10 feet away). Silly
as it sounds, I was blown away.
I questioned him about it. He said "it's easy, just go to Verizon, get the
"Office Kit" for your phone, and follow the instructions".
At the risk of sounding ignorant (too late, haha), is it really that easy?
And what will it cost me in airtime?
I ask because I spend many weekends in NE Pennsylvania, where I have no DSL.
My DSL provider charges extra for dial-up access. Since I'm there on
weekends, if it's charged on a 'MOU" basis, no problem. Is this a viable
alternative to paying extra for dial-up?
Oh---I need to point out that the service in PA is "Extended Coverage"
(non-Verizon) digital. My phone does show "1X" there...
Thanks!!
